There’s a noble teacher behind every Queen’s demeanor, and for Madison Anderson it’s her father. Miss Universe Puerto Rico 2019’s latest crowned lady revealed that her dad Adam Anderson bestowed so many wonderful traits and lessons upon her growing up. “Thank you for raising me into a WARRIOR, A FIGHTER! Who always fights a challenge with love and compassion,” she wrote to him. “Thank you for teaching me my worth and how to find purpose in everything I do.”

She has candidly expressed how much family and their traditions mean to her. Among other things, she loves to travel with them and create new memories internationally.

The brillante belleza has a strong passion for social work and has championed the cause of women in need of a second chance. At the pageant, she shared how she spent some time in Saint Kitt and Nevis working alongside women to help equip them with the necessary tools to succeed. She hopes to provide the same support in Puerto Rico, working with organizations such as Hogar Ruth Puerto Rico. Her dad is without a doubt very proud!
